Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA) 2.2: Especialización en CAST

This course, led by Edgar Palafox, Research and Proposals Member of the DUA Framework at CAST, is a crucial step towards specializing in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) 2.2. It's the second of three levels designed to deeply understand and apply the core principles of UDL.

You'll find a total of 15 structured classes packed with valuable resources. These resources are built around three effective learning strategies:

• Glosaries of Terms: Navigate complex UDL terminology with clear definitions. This helps eliminate confusion and ensures a solid foundation for your learning journey.
• Scaffolding Activities: Build your understanding by actively engaging with the material. These activities involve assembling images and figures within templates, allowing you to not only listen to information but also manipulate, observe, and comprehend the flow of concepts.
• Infographics: Visualize complex information with ease. Infographics synthesize key concepts using diagrams, summaries, images, and descriptions, promoting deeper understanding. As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words!"

This course aims to push you beyond your comfort zone and cultivate the human pedagogical skills necessary for effective inclusion. It empowers you to champion current inclusion efforts within your own context through impactful application.

This specialization equips you with the skills a teacher needs to address diverse learners. From the very first lesson, you'll learn diversified strategies through engaging activities. Expect more than just videos and impactful andragogical documents; you'll gain practical strategies for every minute of your teaching.

We're confident this experience will be a highlight of your professional development. We hope you enjoy the journey!
